1909-S $20 Saint Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Pre-1933 PCGS MS64+ Fresh New Holder
We just acquired this coin from a local collection that's been off the market for years. These coins are truly premium quality and much nicer in hand.
You are receiving this coin exactly as we bought it. The denomination was created as a means of exhausting an overage in gold supply due to the 1849 California Gold Rush. They were never intended for general use in commerce as the amount easily equated to a month's wage during the time of issue - making them impractical to carry as a coin. PCGS encapsulation offers protection and guarantees the MS-64+ condition of the coin.
The "Plus" notation on the holder signifies that this example has gem-like qualities. This example displays outstanding eye appeal and premium quality for the grade. A better date San Francisco Mint date rarely seen in high grade like this.Obverse: Depicts Liberty striding forward holding a torch and an olive branch with the U. Capitol building in the backdrop. Reverse: Features an eagle in flight against the sun in the background.
